    My first notification to a new video of this amazing channel after subbing ❤

    Great video and what a beautiful trip. Lovely that Mom and Dad came along on this trip.
    Japan's winter/snow landscape is insane and beautiful at the same time.
    Both the train and hotel & its experiences look amazing.
    All the food in this video looks amazing. Japanese cuisine really is top tier.
    Also loved learning cultural facts.

    Welcome aboard to our SETSUGEKKA we designed. This is the designer and producer of this train. Thank you very much for your beautiful movie. We also designed the IM taxi lounge at Joestu Myoko Station, East gate. Please take a rest while waiting taxi to LOTTE Hotel Arai.

    Thank you for the ride, good food and accommodations, Solo Solo’s aunt’s sister, her husband and taking Solo Solo along to illustrate why one needs winter foot apparel on Japan’s snowiest train. Don’t forget to pack some next time. I learned the hard way on the Winter Park Ski Train in Fraser, Co on an inner tubing slope.
    What was the elevation of the resort?? It was full of amenities I never would’ve thought. .

    Удивительно, что при такой плотной электрификации, этот поезд оказался дизельным. Как-то не совсем вяжется ни с альпийской эстетикой, где электрификация железных дорог, это своеобразный бренд, ни с экологией, где среди электросети внезапно дизель.
